I have been treated to the tender care of Southern Rail. A lunch time meeting with a girlfriend and home for seven has turned into getting into my place at ten at night. So, unless I write like a demon tonight....sorry.

Dog ate your homework?

Again?

If you come up with any more lame excuses like that, I'll have to send a note to your mother ... and you know what'll happen then. Anyone would think that what you write is voluntary and for your own gratification. It isn't. It's for us and OUR gratification. Now, go and stand outside the headmistress's study.

Consider yourself chastised and us ... merely disappointed ;)

Southern Rail?

Sounds more like Southern Snail! Then again, the UK rail network is infamous for grinding to a halt for almost any reason...

Driver shortage (Sundays are apparently the worst)
Signal failure (often resulting in the train stopping at the signal, then the driver phoning to see if the line's clear to proceed.)
Broken-down train (with very few passing places, trains further down the line are held up until its shifted)
Leaves on the line (perhaps their most infamous excuse ever!)
Wrong sort of snow (the latter caused several Eurostar trains to die after entering the Chunnel from the French side earlier this year)

There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't...

As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!

Rant

late trains. Trains terminated early because, er, they were late. That then continued on to my destination empty... Trains that went straight past the platform despite their being scheduled to stop.

I got tired of speaking the truth to the station staff: I know it's not you, I know it's not your fault, but I NEED TO RANT!!!!!

Anyway, I done writted like dat demon an shim episode done posted.

Be thankful it wasn't

in Wales, there south is de, so put together would mean you'd never get home.

De-rail? (okay it's pushing a point - if it isn't frozen), would that cause cold feet?
